Looking for last minute, easy and eco-friendly solutions for your 4th of July decor and tabletops? Check out these ideas from Lynn and Corey at Celebrate Green!
Napkins, tablecloths and decor
Think outside the paper box by decorating with items you already own, like sheets! Supply guests with red, white and blue fabric markers and set them loose. You'll end up with a unique tablecovering that you can use over and over again!
Washcloths can make great napkins, (Amy adds: especially if you tie a nice bow or piece of straw raffia around them as a decor accent) and if they're stained with barbecue sauce, use them for rags!
No need to buy paper or plastic decor items when you scour your home (and ask your guests to if you like), for objects in your preferred color scheme and integrate them into the decor.
If you've got scrap paper in your colors, wrap it around empty cans and fill them with flowers (cans pictured, while made for the 4th, could be used all summer). Tie napkins with bits of ribbon and stick a flower, feather or leaves under the bow.
If you're in crafting mode, make banners from old pairs of blue jeans, or flatware caddies from towels like the one pictured (make extras for guests who might want to take these home--sans your silverware!--so they'll always have their flatware at the ready).
